Chapter 13: Arrogant and Domineering Miss 4

When the housekeeper informed An Cui that his father had returned with his illegitimate child, An Cui was riding a horse. She had recently become fascinated with the sport of horse riding, and the black horse Caesar had become her new favorite. This horse was originally a purebred racehorse, which was bought from England by An Cui's third uncle. Seeing that An Cui liked it, he immediately offered to give it to her. So Caesar became her exclusive horse, and no one in the family could ride it except her.

"I understand." An Cui returned to the housekeeper, but she cracked the whip and continued riding Caesar, with no intention of going to the front hall to meet her father and brother.

The housekeeper sighed and returned to the front hall to report to the old man and the old lady. The two old people who doted on their eldest granddaughter also sighed, waved their hands and said forget it, their precious granddaughter was rebellious. They were worried that she would learn to be like those rebellious girls and not study hard, and go out to play all day long. It turned out that Xiaomei was indeed their kind and lovely granddaughter. She just bullied others when she got angry. She was still considerate to them and was worth loving.

Speaking of his granddaughter, his gentle eyes turned cold and uninterested when he looked at the thin boy in front of him.

Lan Shengzhe is two years older than An Cui, which means she is 15 years old now, the same age as Lan Shuhua. She lived a hard life with her mother before being brought back. After her mother died, she lived with others for a while. Not only did she not have enough food and drink, she was also forced to work. Her body did not get enough nutrition, so she was quite thin and looked shorter than boys of the same age.

At this moment, this thin young man in faded clothes was standing in the magnificent hall, being looked at by a group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes, whose temperament and aura were completely different from his world. They looked at him with eyes that could not be called friendly. He clenched his hands nervously, his eyes full of harmlessness and timidity.

"He's quite handsome, worthy of being the son of a woman who could be a mistress." Lan Shuhua followed her parents out to watch the fun. She looked at Lan Shengzhe for a long time and said, it's a pity that An Cui was not there, otherwise she would have been able to appreciate her expression.

Her voice was loud and clearly heard by Lan Shengzhe, causing the young man to lower his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, we've recognized the person. Housekeeper, take him to his room to take a shower and change clothes." said grandma.

"Yes. This way please, Master Shengzhe."

The housekeeper took Lan Shengzhe upstairs.

"Mom, he is Sister Shengmei's brother?"

"I guess so."

"Then should I respect him as much as I respect Sister Sheng Mei?"

"What are you talking about? He's just a bastard. How can he deserve your respect?"

"..."

Lan Shengzhe listened to the voice behind him that was not lowered because of his presence. He lowered his head, and his overly long bangs covered his eyes, so no one could see the gloom and hostility in his eyes.

Illegitimate child... illegitimate child... so what? Who made his mother pregnant and gave birth to him? He had never wanted to come back. His mother had obviously taken him far away, but someone still went too far and insisted on locking them both up. He still remembered how much his mother cried when that hypocritical woman came to see her a few years ago... He would definitely take revenge. He would get back everything he owed them! Although it was a pity that the woman died a year ago, it didn't matter. She left behind a daughter.

Blue, prosperous and beautiful!

The room Lan Shengzhe was assigned to was a guest room, which was much smaller than the master bedrooms. After he changed his clothes, he heard a servant calling him, saying that the eldest lady asked him to go to the backyard.

Here she comes. Lan Shengzhe thought, it is said that this is a girl who looks very much like her mother, and her personality must be as hypocritical as her mother, speaking gently and slowly, but inadvertently piercing the soft spot in the hearts of others, killing people without shedding blood.

He followed the servant to the backyard, which was very spacious. Standing here, one could see as far as the eye could see. It was full of green grass and blooming flower beds.

He was left here waiting for a long time but didn't see An Cui. He remained expressionless but sneered in his heart. Look, it has really started, a show of force.

The sound of galloping horses came from afar. Lan Shengzhe looked up and saw a figure on horseback approaching this side.

The horse's hooves splashed mud, and each hoofbeat made a crisp and heavy sound. The black horse was tall and handsome. The figure riding on top held the reins, with her hips off the saddle, and her bent posture was like a professional rider, looking so beautiful and chic. She rode the horse straight and ran towards him quickly, and she didn't slow down even when she was almost in front of him.

Lan Shengzhe's eyes widened. The horse charging straight at him was enlarged in his pupils, enlarged, enlarged to the point where he could no longer take it in completely. He was stiff and motionless. Just when he thought he was about to be knocked away, the rider suddenly pulled the reins tight, and the horse's front legs suddenly raised high before hitting him. The horse let out a sharp neigh, and its strong hooves stepped in the air a few times, slightly sideways, and landed beside him.

Lan Shengzhe felt his knees go weak, but he still controlled himself and did not sit down on the ground in embarrassment.

The shadow of the tall horse fell upon him, and he had to look up to see the face of the man sitting on it.

So he looked up, and suddenly met a pair of eyes that were looking down at him. Those eyes were very beautiful, and the pupils were pure black, revealing arrogance, indifference, and a little curiosity, as if he was a child who suddenly wanted to take a look at the ants on the roadside that posed no threat and were not worth his attention.

His heart suddenly tightened, the world suddenly condensed into this small space in front of him, and his ears were silent.

Then he heard a voice coming from her beautiful lips.

"Nothing more than that." There was not even any sarcasm, it was so bland that it made people even more embarrassed.

After An Cui finished looking at the male protagonist, she rode away again.

Lan Shengzhe stood there for a few seconds before he realized that the woman was actually Lan Shengmei. She was completely different from what he had imagined. She was not hypocritical at all. She looked down on him without even a hint of pretense.

Lan Shengzhe suddenly clenched his fists, staring at the direction where An Cui disappeared with anger and hatred. One day, she will regret it!

He returned to the room and his cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes, which were full of negative energy.

"Paulie."

"Azhe, have you arrived at the Lan family? How do you feel? Have you been bullied?" A sweet girl's voice came from the other side. It was his childhood  Shu Baoli. Their fates were so similar. They both came from single-parent families and were both excluded and treated coldly in the town. So they warmed each other up and were each other's confidants. Shu Baoli was taken back to the Shu family a year earlier than him. After she went back, they did not lose contact. She also kept sending snacks to him. When she heard that the Lan family was going to take him back, she was happier than he was.

"Here we are. It's just as I imagined, except... Lan Shengmei is not quite what I imagined."

Shu Baoli immediately asked sharply: "Is he a difficult person to deal with?"

"Probably. I need to confirm it." After just one encounter, it was confirmed that Lan Shengmei must be a doted and spoiled person. It would take further observation to see whether she was easy to deal with. After all, although she was spoiled, she might be a brainless fool.

"It's okay, I will help you. All the members of the Lan family study in No. 1 Middle School, and you should also go to No. 1 Middle School in the future. I will transfer there, and we can be together again." Shu Baoli said excitedly, and one could imagine how happy she looked.

Lan Shengzhe was also very happy, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

They vowed to get back what was owed to them.
